Drive overheat

What does F011 mean?

This fault occurs when the Drive thermal state (809) exceeds 118%. It indicates that the internal temperature of the drive has risen above its safe operating limits, potentially leading to derating or damage to power components.

• The drive's thermal state (809) has exceeded 118% of its safe operating limit.
• High ambient temperature in the installation area exceeding the drive's specifications.
• Blocked ventilation openings or insufficient airflow around the drive, hindering heat dissipation.
• Malfunctioning internal cooling fan of the drive, preventing proper heat removal.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Monitor the Drive thermal state (809) parameter in the Monitoring mode (MOn) to check the current drive temperature.

2. 2

   Ensure adequate clearance around the drive for proper airflow and verify that all ventilation openings are free from dust and obstructions.

3. 3

   Check that the ambient temperature around the drive is within the specified operating limits for the Altivar ATV310 series.

4. 4

   Verify the functionality of the drive's internal cooling fan; clean or replace if faulty.

5. 5

   Reduce the load on the drive if possible, especially if operating close to its maximum capacity in high ambient temperatures.
